About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See mountains. Develop software.

ABOUT ME

I tend to get wrapped up in a software development project and not get out as much as I'd like. On the occasional weekend I will be extroverted. I love mountains and I'd love to snowboard and become a hobby pilot. One can dream :)

PHILOSOPHY

We have some tough problems as a species -- how we treat the environment, ourselves, and those around us. I am optimistic that we are on a positive progression of improvement on all of these fronts. I like humanity and people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

TBA

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an adjunct professor for web development with Javascript & jQuery, so I suppose I can teach that :) I can also teach backend technologies with PHP and even a little bit of Clojure.

I can also teach a bit of guitar and piano, but I am not professional with those.

Countries I’ve Visited
